I'd call DOCS straight away and find out what's going on. This sounds very fishy. I would have someone with you for the next visit and I'd also call legal aid about your rights. Hope you're ok You and your poor little DD must have been terrified.

I wouldn't be waiting for tomorrow to happen. I'd be calling DOCS and talking to the appropriate people right now. You have these 3 peoples names, that makes it easy. If these people are not legitimate, you need to know NOW so you can protect yourself, possibly having police on your side for tomorrow.
If these people aren't legitimate, what are they doing with the photos they have taken? It could be your ex breaching his AVO.
They should have shown you documentation (warrants etc) to take photographs and even enter your house without your permission.

Well that got me no where, I rang the head office - who transferred me to the regional office - who transferred me to the local office who told me to ring the complaints line.

I got no paper work.

I know my local community place only has legal aide the 1st of the month as they come from 2 hrs away, I was there on the 1st of march about DDs father when he took her and wouldnt bring her home.. and TBH they were useless she told me there is nothing I can do about it at all...except go through a recovery order if it was to happen again.

There are some booklets available online that explain your rights and responsibilities when it come to Child Protection.
Just google DOCS/Child Protection and your state.
Can you possibly get an emergency appointment with a Lawyer? I know it's expensive, but if they were CHild Protection Officers, you are best to seek Legal Advice.
